Topic: Dakota VS Tree

[toybuilt]

Well this is the story

I was on a twisty road and my rear tires were balled, maybe 1/32 of tread (my new tires were being shipped here) and this one corner was still wet because there was no sun shinning though the trees. Anyways my rear tires spun around so of course I turned my tires left (since it was a right hand turn) but even that wasn't good enuff. My tires kept comming around and as soon as I saw that I was not going to stay on the road I used the brakes but then the front tires started to slide but it was to late by that time and I mist a little creek by maybe 6 inches and smacked a good size tree. All I got was a stage 3 concussion and a few little scraches on my arm.
Know just to let you now I do now how to drive and I have completed many controled spinds, but this one was uncontrolable and I was either going to hit the tree with the front of my truck or if I didn't brake when I did I would have rapped my truck around the tree. Either way the tree won. O well, stuff happens.

The tree didnt just win, it kicked your ass! Sucks to hear, I wonder what insurance will pay for it?

You said it best, the tree won.  Hope you had full coverage, glad you're ok too.  Maybe it's time to replace it with a tundra    ?

Now for that damn tree. The tree had barbed wire rap around it, I almost got some bark to fall off

I forgot to say the doctor made me take 2 days off from work.

It was my dailly driver and yes I did have full coverage on it. Not sure what to get maybe a tundra or maybe a fullsize dodge truck

Depending on how much I might buy my truck back for the engine and tranny(5.2L, NP3500), maybe put it in something.
